Good afternoon
Today visited a special display at the State Museum of arms used at a local battle about 1880. The Comblain (far right photo) is the 1874 Chilean version made in Leige Belguim. A simple falling block design.

Also were displayed bayonets, cartriges, uniforms and camp equipment.

Very interesting another good place to visit is the Cody Museum in Cody WY. They have a great display of guns there. I have been there twice and would like to go again. Thanks Mike for the pics.
